Installation guide

Propagating the cluster configuration file this way is necessary for the first time a

cluster is created. Once a cluster is installed and running, the cluster

configuration file is propagated using the Red Hat cluster management GUI

Send to Cluster button. For more information about propagating the cluster

configuration using the GUI Send to Cluster button, refer to Section 3,

“Modifying the Cluster Configuration”.

10. Starting the Cluster Software

After you have propagated the cluster configuration to the cluster nodes you can either reboot

each node or start the cluster software on each cluster node by running the following

commands at each node in this order:

1. service cman start

2. service clvmd start, if CLVM has been used to create clustered volumes

3. service gfs start, if you are using Red Hat GFS

4. service rgmanager start

5. Start the Red Hat Cluster Suite management GUI. At the Cluster Configuration Tool tab,

verify that the configuration is correct. At the Cluster Status Tool tab verify that the nodes

and services are running as expected.
